World Series of Poker- Hold 'Em Legend
iTunes LinkWorld Series of Poker- Hold 'Em Legend is a poker game by Glu. $4.99[This is a modified post from TheAppEra]With the launch of the App Store can a great poker game by Apple themselves, which feature great graphics and strong reasons why it should be the only poker game you need to buy. Over a year later and I have finally found a poker game that I feel it worthy to share the limelight with Apple's Texas Hold 'Em. It just so happens that this game is also a fully licensed WSOP game. Being a total Poker nut, even to the extent of winning a fair sized tournament and owning about three poker games for my Xbox 360 I feel like I know enough...

Using KVO for Table Updates
If you've followed the guidelines in Apple's Model Object Implementation Guide when creating your data model objects, you can handle your UITableView updates using KVO. This frees you from having to spread calls to reloadData, insertRowsAtIndexPaths:withRowAnimation:, or deleteRowsAtIndexPaths:withRowAnimation: throughout your controller class wherever the data in your table might get changed.Instead, all you have to do is observe the keypath on your data model object that holds the collection of items being displayed in the table. The easiest way to do that is in your table view controller's viewDidLoad method, like so: [self.data addObserver:self forKeyPath:@"items" options:0 context:NULL];Then, you just implement observeValueForKeyPath:ofObject:change:context...

NBA Live
iTunes LinkNBA Live is a basketball game by Electronic Arts. $9.99[This is a modified post from TheAppEra]First of all I feel extremely privileged to even review this game, with James being perhaps the biggest Lakers fan of all time (Except this guy or even this guy). For a long long time we have been waiting for NBA Live, since Electronic Arts announced their 2009 line up back around March. Now it has arrived, and boy isn't it NOICE! Being a long time fan and player of Basketball there was nothing more that I wanted on my iPod than this. First of all the game lets you use all NBA teams and players in the full 82 game season. The game itself...

Asphalt 5
iTunes LinkAsphalt 5 is a racing game by Gameloft. $6.99[This is a modified post from TheAppEra] Early in the App Store's career we had one game that was a standout at the time, Asphalt 4: Elite Racing. But with the release of the latest Asphalt game we find that game blown out of the water with a faster, shinier and meaner Asphalt 5. I absolutely loved Asphalt 4 to bits, thinking it was about as good as iPhone games could go (hell was I wrong). Asphalt 5 is Gameloft's latest version, a game that has been announced for some time. They have basically stripped Asphalt 4 and improved the game on almost every level possible, putting a racing game...

Update to the MPMediaItemCollection Category
While testing and debugging, I made a few tweaks to this category. I still haven't added reordering, but I think the methods that are here are now pretty solid. If you downloaded the earlier one, you probably want to grab the updated version, as it now codes defensively so problems aren't caused when a collection becomes empty by deletion (media item collections can't be created without at least one media item).MPMediaItemCollection-Utils.h#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>#import <MediaPlayer/MediaPlayer.h>@interface MPMediaItemCollection(Utils)/** Returns the first media item in the collection */- (MPMediaItem *)firstMediaItem;/** Returns the last media item in the collection */- (MPMediaItem *)lastMediaItem;/** This method will return the item in this media collection at a specific...
